Dashing Moose Card

I guess I really needed to stamp this morning, because once I started this card I could not stop! I started this card with the Oval made out of Dashing Designer Paper, I had several left over from my photo card and of course I saved them all to make something later.

This is a Z-fold card. The base is a 4 -1/4 x 11 piece of card stock, it is then folded in half to create a traditional card, to create the "Z" just fold the front flap back and in half. Then your card opens like a "Z". I added lots of extras to this card, it was so much fun. I am working on making a display of Chip Board for an upcoming group meeting and so it was a must that have a chip board element on this card. You can see it in the top left corner, with my saying from the So Many Sayings Set. I added a mini library clip to it, it is the first time I have used those, FUN! I made the scalloped oval with my coluzzle, slit punch and 1/8" circle punch. The moose is from the Moose You Stamp set, I LOVE him! His hat is from the Crab and Co. Stamp set that is currently on the dormant list and will reappear in the Spring/Summer Collection Catalog. The hat actually goes in the opposite direction, so I had to reverse it by stamping on solid rubber and stamping it again. I accented the hat and made the snow with Liquid Applique and Dazzling Diamonds glitter. The ornaments hanging from his antlers are made with the 1/4" circle punch, a tiny piece of silver cs, wire works, crystal effects and Romantic Red Glitter. I used the River Rock Double Stitched Grosgrain and Red Gingham Ribbons to top it all off. This card was a lot of fun, cutting out the Moose was the most time consuming part of the card, oh mercy that tail! But I don't think it bothered me as much as it did the Moose, he told me that was the only time I could do that to him and I agree! Hope you enjoy my Moose creation.
